@Roshni19770 Android itself is great, but using WhatsApp on Android isn't a very good experience. Every voice message I send to my contacts is automatically cached and permanently stored in my phone's local storage. I now have thousands of cached voice recordings taking up space on my device
@WhatsApp@WABetaInfo I can't imagine how many voice recordings will accumulate over time. This wastes a lot of storage, especially for users with limited space. It would be much better if deleted voice-message caches could simply be re-downloaded from the app whenever needed.
Do you really think this is user-friendly for Android devices? Every voice message I send to my contacts is permanently cached and stored on my phone. If I delete these cached audio files from local storage, I can no longer re-download or play them within the app.
@WhatsApp@BashirAhmaad Could you please stop storing voice messages that users send to others locally on Android devices? This is not very user-friendly for people with limited phone storage.
@WABetaInfo Can you change the storage logic for voice audio messages sent to friends on Android devices so that they are not all saved locally on the phone? Storing everything locally is very unfriendly to phone storage.😑
@WhatsApp Moreover, you can’t delete these cached audio files from your phone’s storage, because once they’re gone, WhatsApp won’t be able to play them again. Over time, your phone’s storage ends up cluttered with nothing but these audio files.
@WhatsApp I really want to ask you all: Does every voice message an Android device sends to a friend have to be cached in the phone’s local storage? That’s pretty unfriendly to Android users with limited memory, isn’t it?
@WABetaInfo Does every voice message an Android device sends to a friend have to be cached in the phone’s local storage? I’m really curious about this—doesn’t that make things pretty unfriendly for users with limited storage? When you enable offline song downloads on Spotify or YouTube Music
